New Yookers pretend that they are the worldly sophistocates. That if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. It seems that they’re not that worldly, not that smart. Next they’ll be mistaking a pigeon for a bald eagle, or a sewer rat for a hippopotamus.
You're not far off. The pigeon is Schumer and the sewer rat is Rosie O'Donut. It's not hard to confuse them with the other animals.
